After handing a suitcase of fertilizer to Professor Sprout, Hope returned to the dormitory to take a shower and change a set of clothes. He was worried about why he didn't learn the cleaning spell in the first place.
Taking a piece of letter paper and a quill from the desk, Hope wrote down the clues he got from Hagrid. He omitted Hagrid and the three-headed dog, and only said that he was listening to some magical animals chatting in the Forbidden Forest. You know, anyway, his father Joey knew that he could communicate with animals.
After finishing writing, Hope suddenly remembered that he had also sent a letter to his mother Theresa, asking about alchemy. So far, his mother had not replied to him, so Hope added another sentence at the end of the letter, he Mom received the letter.
After finishing writing, Hope rubbed his hungry belly. He hadn't had lunch yet. Looking at the clock on the wall, it was past one o'clock. It was already past meal time. Fortunately, he knew the location of the kitchen. Let's go find something to eat before class. His two unreliable roommates didn't know where they were, and his clothes had to be washed in the laundry room. Although his wizard robe could provide three defenses, he felt uncomfortable.
Pack the envelope and bring the textbook. Don't forget to take it this time. The herbal medicine class is half theory and half practice. All the way to the kitchen, the house elf was still so enthusiastic. After eating the special large sandwich, Hope set off for the greenhouse.
In the corridor on the underground floor, Hope found two figures sneaking around. Usually no one came to this corridor, but there was a secret passage leading to the castle courtyard. Hope was wandering around the castle before. He knew that there were many unexpected secret passages in the castle, so he would always subconsciously check to see if there were secret passages in some corners, which also allowed him to accidentally discover a few.
With those two heads of red hair, Hope already knew who they were without guessing. At this time, the two of them were pointing at a painting, not knowing what they were discussing.
"Fred, George, what are you two doing?" Hope asked curiously.
Fred and George suddenly heard someone calling them and were startled. Very few people came to this place. After turning their heads and finding Hope, the two of them sang in harmony and said excitedly:
"This is not the inventor of the Colorful Luminescent Spell." (George)
"The little professor of Transfiguration." (Fred)
"A Gryffindor spy who infiltrated Hufflepuff." (George)
"Mr. Hope Lloyd?" (In unison)
Hearing so many nicknames, Hope's head was full of black lines, where are they? When did he have so many nicknames?
"What are you doing here? Don't you have class in the afternoon?"
George and Fred looked at each other and said in unison: "We are undergoing a great test."
Hope looked at the two of them and looked at the parchment in George's hand. Could it be the Marauder's Map? In order to confirm his guess, he asked: "Is it the parchment in your hand?"
George praised: "As expected of the little professor, you discovered it right away. As a reward, I will let you see this magical magic item."
George and Fred spread out the parchment, and George picked up his wand and put it against the parchment, saying: "I solemnly swear!"
Suddenly, a map of Hogwarts Castle appeared on the parchment. It also marked the locations of many secret passages and how to open them. The name of the maker was written on the map: "Moon Face, Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs." ." The most important thing is that there are many small moving footprints on it, and everyone's name is marked below the footprints.
Hope looked at the map in surprise. It was really the Marauder's Map.
George and Fred were very satisfied with Hope's surprised expression and said proudly: "How is it? Amazing, right?" "Thanks to it we didn't get caught when we were swimming at night." Then they said with some regret: "But We only know half the spell now and can only use it for thirty minutes."
Hope remembered his previous idea of making a map. With the help of this map, he should be able to save a lot of things, so Hope told George and Fred about the map he wanted to make.
After hearing this, the two people were surprised and said: "Cool, what a great idea, so that no one will get lost in the future! Maybe you can add a little more danger detection function, which will be more interesting."
Yes, who said maps can only point the way? He can add a function to detect malicious intent, or monitor dangerous creatures around him in the wild. As expected, more people bring more ideas. In the future, he will find a few more people to join him. Come in.
But it doesn't work now. He has no idea now and doesn't have the ability to realize it yet. He still has to study. His mother doesn't reply to his letters. There is no alchemy teacher in the school. He can only find some general alchemy books. , without a learning path it seems very difficult.
Principal Dumbledore should be proficient in alchemy. He remembered that Professor Dumbledore and Nick Mellor were good friends. Why not ask the principal?
After getting rid of the messy thoughts in his mind, Hope asked: "I wonder if I can borrow this map when the time comes? I can help you guys take the test together." He couldn't remember the complete spell, it seemed like ' I solemnly swear that I have bad intentions.
George and Fred naturally agreed: "Of course there is no problem, but the test is not necessary. We are almost finished."
He still wanted to join in the fun, and he would not participate if he was not allowed to participate. By the way, Hope suddenly remembered that he still had classes to attend, and hurriedly said: "It's getting late, I still have classes, let's go first."
George and Fred asked in confusion: "There is no classroom in this direction. What class are you taking?"
Hope walked to a pair of armor and said, "Herbology class, there is a secret passage here that leads to the courtyard!" Hope fumbled for a raised stone behind the armor, and pressed it hard, and the wall instantly became After opening a revolving door, Hope walked in, waved to George and Fred and said, "I'm leaving first, bye!"
George and Fred watched in surprise as Hope disappeared and the wall returned to its original state.
George said: "It seems that our Gryffindor spy is not restless."
Fred nodded and agreed: "Indeed, no serious person would find a secret passage in Hogwarts."
The two looked at the Marauder's Map in their hands and said in surprise: "This is a brand new secret passage that is not on the map!"
After being surprised, the two looked at each other and suddenly laughed: "Fred (George), it seems we can improve the map!"
In a bush in the courtyard, Hope suddenly came out. What he didn't know was that when George and Fred discovered that there were secret passages in Hogwarts that they didn't know about, completing the map became their next step. A great pleasure.
All the way to Professor Sprout's greenhouse, Professor Sprout has carefully prepared the props for the class, including a young devil's net for each person, a small handful of fertilizer, gloves and a set of small Rake, small shovel farm implement.
Hope thought that although the Hufflepuff lounge was on the underground floor, Hogwarts Castle was built on a hill with unstable terrain, so their bedroom was not underground, and their bedroom faced the sun and had plenty of space. The sun shines into their bedroom, why not plant something in the dormitory? Otherwise, the balcony would be bare and unsightly.
